Sunday Afternoon

It's Sunday and I finally got to spend some time down in the craft room! Last week was very busy with company and I had performances with The Allegra Singers. I so love to sing! I live a very charmed life in that I am married to a wonderful man, have an amazing child and get to do things that make my soul happy like scrapbooking and singing! A very charmed life indeed.
Today's little creation was inspired by "Dynamic Duos" Challenge #1! This is a brand new challenge blog where you create only using the colours they suggest and neutrals. For the layout I decided to try Freshly Made Sketches #33 where the aim is to keep your project clean-lined and fresh. I am also submitting this card to CAS-ual Fridays #51 in celebration of their first birthday.

I used Close To My Heart Pear and Lagoon for the colours and a scrap from my Dotty For You paper package (that wonderful $5 pack of paper is going to be used for a long, long time). I also used my Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge to cut out the flowers and used the "Just for You" stamp on them. I also used the stamp from the "Florentine" Workshop on the go to create the scalloped strip.

That flower is gorgeous and I love the little button in the center of it! Singing and playing the piano are favorites of mine next to card making, so I can relate to your love for paper crafting and music! :) Thanks for joining us over at Dynamic Duos this week!

Oh, this is so pretty! I really love how the colors and patterns pop of the clean design. This is one happy card, indeed! So glad you joined us this week over at the Dynamic Duos challenge! Have a great day! :)

Whew! November was a blur of Christmas Card Workshops, Home Parties, and a Card Buffet! I'm a little tired but do have plans for a few card buffets and other crafty fun this month. A couple of cards that I created for the recent card buffet turned out super cute and use a mix of old and new product! Love when I can do that.

This "stag" card features the awesome green buffalo plaid paper from the current Beary Christmas Paper Packet and the stag is from Cricut Artistry but the rest is retired CTMH products from my stash! The stamp is from last year and is called D1694 Very Merry Holiday if you are able to find one for sale online grab it! You will not be disappointed the whole stamp set is awesome and I will be using mine for years to come. As mentioned the stag is from Cricut Artistry and I cut it out in white daisy cardstock and chocolate cardstock (retired) and the leaves are from Cricut Flower Market in Fern.
The design for this card comes from the Close to My …

Hello, my friends! My apologies for being a little MIA the past several weeks but when you have too much going on something always falls through the cracks! BUT school is back in which means way more crafting time for me!

This weeks sketch from Atlantic Hearts is up and I decided to play with a little more of the Jack Paper Collection, it recently retired and that is a real shame because I love these papers! I am working on my annual Christmas Card workshops and decided to have a little fun with the bearded man papers... I give you "Warm Wishes and Mistletoe Kisses".
Sometimes going a little outside the box can be so much fun and I really hope my workshop attendees love this card as much as I do. To create the card I used Slate Cardstock for my base and added the " Bearded Men in Hats". To add a bit more whimsy the mustache border is from Cricut Artistry and the branches for my mistletoe is from Cricut Flower Market cut out in New England Ivy and Fern cardstocks…
